THE RESURRECTION OF BILLY THE KID
It all starts with that only known photo of Billy the Kid. He is standing there with a rifle, right? That's what everyone's seen from the start—old newspaper clippings, whatever. But even when that photo was first taken, they doctored it. Tried to fix it right out of the gate. They botched it. It was badly done. So instead of seeing this smart little Irish kid, America saw a moron.

'It's the bond market, stupid' - Just ask Moody's
Back in the early 1990s when I was running as a Republican candidate for Congress, a governor from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, once said during a three-way race for president the following, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Well, today, I would change that slightly to: “It’s the bond market, stupid.” (It must be noted that President Clinton was the last president to balance our budget.)
